James Morgan, another bidder, did not
think It was worth $1,000; Edmund
Haman, the purchaser, did not think he
got a bargain In the farm, as II would not
get his Judgment out Of 1t.
Lewis e. Eliason said he thought the
wharf properly was we'll sold at $4,000;
George W. Turner thought the wharf
brought Its full price at the sale; Samuel
p. Truss thought likewise. Joseph II.
Rogers highest estimate was $1,000; David
W. Elkinton thought It brought its full
price, and David Lewis thought It
brought more than he would give for 1t.
Eugene L. Chase thought 1t sold for fair

Alexander B Cooper. Esq, director in
the Farmers Bank at New Castle, said he
told Mr.. Higgins 1t was his impression the
wharf property would not he sold, az the
bank directors thought II might bring more
II the sale was delayed. He mentioned this
only as his impression and not rs coming
from tho directors.
This ended the testimony and Mr.. Lore
commended that In addition notice OF the
sale. instead Of being left at the place OF
business OF one OF tho execution creditors
the Union Bank--as required by law, had
been given to Its attorney.
The court hold this point to DO good. md
Judge Houston announced that he and
Judge Paynter were OF the opinion that the
sale should be set aside.
In the cases Of James NJ. Frleszleben and
Walter Bacon against the levy court, for

Anthony Higgins, Esq. of plaintiffs counsel,
said that as the cases were test OF the
constltutionality Of the assessment law they
ought to be heard before all five OF the
judges. After consultation with Mr.. Rodney,
the courts counsel, Mr.. Higgins suggested
that the cases go over until September,
with leave to amend on both sides, and
then II case stated could not be agreed
upon, to be submitted TO the court, the
cases could go to Jury trial.

Water Commissioners, went TO Dover,
Saturday morning, for the purpose of
obtaining from Chancellor Saulsbury an
injunction restraining the levy court from

granted, and a rule issued to show cause
why tho injunction should not be made
perpetual, returnable on Monday next,
June 9Th, at II O'Clock, q. m. Meanwhile
work on the new bridge will go on ms
usual, except that the work of denolish.
ing the west end of the bridge mill will

The levy court held an adjourned
meeting at the court house Tuesday
morning.
Permission was granted the Marrow
Dyke Marah Company Of New CASTLE TO
cut o passage way through the publio
road TO admit passage of mud machine
to be used in dredging Marrow Dyke
sluice creek.
Mr.. Morrison asked for the construc-
ton of O new bridge across the Marrow
Dyke creek at probable cost of 81 ,068. 20
but the request was not granted.
The attorney Of the court was directed
TO enter satisfaction upon the judgment
from the superior court against Samuel
1887 and 1910. Also, upon the official
bond Of Lewis Derrickson, collector of
Mill Greek hundred for 1886.
The following collectors bonds wore
approved OF John A. Mullin, White
CLAY Greek; Thomas J. Handy, Ohristiana;
Robert Wadsly, New Castle; ]. i. Rich
ardson, Mill Creek; Duval Gibbs, Apo
quinimink.
Messrs. Hickman, MoOracken, Toy,
Wier and Chairman Grubb were APP
pointed committee to locate the boun-
dariea Of the county's property in this
city.
A committee reported in favor of
building a bridge over Sassafras mill
pond in Appointments hundred at cost
Of about 81 800. The report was adopted.
TIE writs OF temporary injunction and
SUMMONS in the Case Of the water conf
| mission against the court were read. One
Il The summonsas commands the MEM
,ers of the court to appear before the
chancellor at Dover on June 9th and the
other to appear in this city on July 4th.
The Injunction was but little discusst
1 in the court. The court voted TO visit
4 the bridge during recess and inspect the
1 work, but only small part Of the NUM-
Der made the trip.
1t ia the sentiment of the court to go
ahead with the work without enoroaching
upon that part of the land under dispute
and protected by an injunction; not 10
make any contest whatever in the matter,
only TO finish the structure as far as pos
sible and leave the rest to be completed
when the Injunction may be dissolved.
Just one half OF the bridge oan be COM
pleted for travel if this line OF action is
adhered to. Tho court argues that
IL tho people here do not want a bridge
it should not be forced upon and
it is perfectly content to await raising OF
the Injunction. The members are not
disposed to enter into ooatly litigation
with the city as to the ownership
of few feet OF ground, although il
is confident that the land in dispute
belongs to the county. The fight the
court holds might prove costly one and
the tax, payers would have to pay the
entire cost, whichever side won.

afternoon permission was given the Balti

DIR. Finn of No. $40 West Ninth
street, was neEtly taken in on Thursday
last by Henry alias Whitley Scott, sneak
thief, who was arrested in Philadelphia
and is now being held for the Wilmington
authorities. He entered the DOCTORS
office apparently under great excitement
and requested his services Immediately at
the bedside of dying woman at the same
time giving an address in the suburbs.
Scott then burriedly left the office
ostensibly to return 10 the sick
woman, but he really watched
until the doctor left the house when
he returned and told the woman who re-
sponded to his call that he had made q
mistake in the address, and said that he
would inform the doctor of the correct
address on bis return. The visitor WAS
escorted into the office where he wrote
another fictitious address and proceeded
to whit while the lady of the house went
about her routine duties. In few
moments the fellow announced that he
would not wait, and requested the
landlady to give the doctor the
correct address. DIR. Finn returned
shortly without being able to find the To-
cation first given and immediately started
on his second wild goose chase with no
better results. He returned home angry
but did not give the matter any serious
thought, deeming the man who had
called some mild but annoying
crank who was indulging his wild
fancy. He did not discover that
no bad been deliberately duped and
robbed until the Philadelphia police
had arrested Scott with galvanic battery
and some physician's instrument in his
possession. Ohief-of- Police Dougherty
was notified of the affair by the Philadel-
phia authorities, and DR.. Finn discovered
his loss only after taking an inventory of
his effects. Scott is being held until the
local authorities go after him.

NEWARK, June 1.-The evening trains yes
terday brought large number of the fus-
eek county delegates, lay and clerical, to
tha ono hundred and flrat annual conven-
tlon OF the Episcopal church Of Delaware,
and 1t is thought TINT upon the organization
OF the house this morning the attendance
will be unusually large, In view of tho
thorough ventilation of the subject OF q
successor to the late Bishop Lee. This mat
tor will certainly be brought before the con-
vention, not necessarily for Immediate or
definite action, but for an expression OF the
sense OF the convention on the propristy or
ad yisabllity OF such an early election. A pos
slble contingency is looked for by the more
conservative members which will defer the
selection until sufficient time has inter-
vened TO allow OF mature Judgment and do
liberation. No one expects the selection OF
a bishop on the flrss ballot, even II such m
advanced stage OF procedure should he
reached; there arc too many shades Of
opinion and individual preferences In the
diocese TO admit Of such complete una
nimity as an anonymous contributor to
EVERY EVENING would lead the public TO
believe. There will be no discord or serious
lack Of harmony, only the strongest side
A very well attended service was held
last evening at St. Thomas Church, rs a
preliminary to the opening OF the conven-
tlon, although the two have no connection.
The Rev. Mr.. Lightner OF Emmanuel Church,

church duty. He was assisted In the exer-
eises by the Rev. Mr.. Gibson OF Christ

The Now EsrlsaRe.

The floor of the new bridge across the
Brandywine at Market street is now being
laid, and the iron work is about COM
pleted except for the footways on the sides.
The old bridge has been entirely removed
and the new structure presents hand
some appearance. In regard TO the com
plant that the opening for drainage in
the west wall is not large enough, Levy
court Commissioner Hickman aays II ia
fully as large as tho old one, ia con-
struoted In a much better manner and can
readily be enlarged If found too small.
The approaches to the bridge will not be
paved until the new ground settles, and
the bridge, excepting the footways, will
probably be opened to travel by the first
Of next week.

The local strawberry market on Satur-

Every dealer was left with some straw
berries on hand although all of them
reported big sales. About 800 crates
arrived on the late trains after the market
was already overstocked, and they sold
as low as G quarts for 25 conts. There
were probably less than 100 crates left,
for at tho low prices, they went OIL like
